It’s fun have a refrigerator full of rotting food.Â Guess which block of cheese will go moldy first.Â Place bets on whether the carrots or parsnips will turn green first.Â Can we say vegetable chia pet?

You prefer the taste of Wonder bread over a home baked loaf.Â If it’s really true, you should blame your parents for that tragedy and skip their birthdays for a year or stop calling them for a month.

You ‘re running out of places to store all that money you pick from the tree out back.Â Â Might as well blow it on food!Â Teach your kids that money is something you should be completely irresponsible with.

LOL! I love it! There was a guy checking out at CVS next to me today…he was buying something that I know I’d seen a coupon or ECB or something…he didn’t even have a CVS card! If only everyone knew how to be more frugal!!! I suppose not everyone cares or even needs to be worry about being frugal!
